Main Line Overland attended the Vermont Overland Rally & Workshop as full event sponsors this year. For an event that is only in its second year it has grown significantly in all aspects. We attempted to drive our 1947 Willys CJ2a up from our shop in West Chester, PA, however it was not meant to [...]
We’re driving the Willys to Vermont! In the Overland spirit of “it’s the journey not the destination” Pete decided that driving up a bunch of highways in a newer Toyota was not adventurous enough, so he will be driving our newly acquired 1947 Willys CJ2a up to the Vermont Overland Rally this year.

We took a trip up to the MLO proving grounds this past weekend. This is the location where we do a number of our product tests when we are not out in the field. The several hundred acre farm is located in central Pennsylvania and has some of the most diverse terrain in the area. From [...]
